Using the following directions to attach the smaller enclosed ferrite
bead clamp to the communication cable as shown at right:
1. Open the ferrite bead.
2. Place the communication cable inside the ferrite bead groove.
3. Position the ferrite bead as close as possible to the end of the cable
that connects to the DB-9 connector of the UPS.
4. Close the ferrite bead so that the ferrite bead’s case snaps closed
with the cable routed through the ferrite bead’s case.
